David, I got my Lamb's Navy Rum from a friend who brought it for me from Canada. I bought a lot of Lemon-heart bottles before they decided to stop making them from Whole Foods of all places.
I'm having a shot of Lagavulin 16yr.

hang10tiki, I love that Benzart Maori mug. Still the favorite mug of my modest collection.

Drinking a Mai-Kai Last Rites Cocktail from Sippin' Safari. This is one where I quite like the bite of St. James Royal Ambre front and center.

Since I don't have to work tomorrow it's party time..
I never made this version of Zombie, it was complicated and took a while to make but this is a fine drink, just the right flavors and sweetness. I like it a lot.

Aku Aku Zombie

3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz grapefruit juice
3/4 oz cinnamon infused sugar
3/4 oz dark Jamaican I used Caruba
3/4 os gold Puerto Rican, I used Tommy Bahama, I know but I have a bottle around and I wanted to use it up.
3/4 oz 151 Lemon Heart, I use one of the old ones I still have around.
Dash Angostura bitters
4 oz crushed ice
1/2 tsp zombie mix which takes time to prepare. 1/8 oz of each, Pernod which I used Pernod Absinthe, Orange Curacao, Falernum, Grenadine.
It took me longer to prepare it than it took me to drink it hahaha
I would do it again.

Hilt, Your Z sounds ono!
I can see the impatience on the faces of my brudda Tikivato,his wife Rosemary, and my wife CeCe when I try this one on them.
They never hurry me when it takes me 10-15 minutes to prepare 4 Mai Tai’s (1944 Trader Vic’s kine). This might be pushing it. Hope the Zombie is as good as the ingredients suggest.

1) Tonga Room Zombie. Serviceable but not stellar. Doesn't call for LH151, Cruzan 151 will do. Probaably one of the main reasons this Zombie is alright but no great shakes. Of course, if I was served this drink at a local joint I would be thrilled, but that is merely because the quality bar has been set so low.

2) Jim's Special -- Tiki Ti drink via Remixed. Whoah! Really drinkable and nicely balanced for the 4.5 oz of spirits in this one (not counting curacao). Offhand I can't think of another cocktail that pairs dark rum and tequila, but it certainly works in this drink.
